John Fitzgerald Kennedy, president of United States of America.

Hitherto not a single politician has grasped the same status, popularity, charisma, appeal or magnetism than John Fitzgerald Kennedy maintained throughout his entire existence. Indeed, so beloved was he that his departure seemed somehow like bereavement for many of his devotees to whom JFK seemed like a movie star insofar as he was possessed of outstanding attributes that are not visible in current politicians. Because of all of this John Fitzgerald Kennedy has gained a huge prominence inside United States politics history. As a matter of fact, fascination for his persona is so fabulous that his unexpected end could be deemed as a literary one (“Those whom the gods love die young”) which extended his paramount legend to such extent JFK reputation seems immortal.

Detractors claimed he was not a skilled politician therefore all of these are only underlying aspects of his politics acumen. Notwithstanding, whether he was a talented politician or only a popular figure whose strange dead helped him to reach immortality the truth is that years of Kennedy were overlaid with sheer relevance both because of cultural and historical episodes.  Likewise, Cuba missile crisis was the closest point to a war between superpowers Soviet Union and United States because nuclear missiles were assembled in the Cuban Island so close to United States that this was a clear menace for American predominance

Firstly, a change was coming into United States, modern society that is also maintained nowadays was invented and America somehow conquered the world, after II World War, Europe was so devastated that its erstwhile mighty Empires such as Britain or France lost its power overseas hence these nations became small in size, a great number of their former colonies got independent. Germany lost the war becoming irrelevant for instance and the rest of Europe was impoverished, this made United States and Soviet Union to prevail in such a significant extent the world was divided between Communism and Capitalism, a Cold War followed just at the time when Kennedy was in power, Soviet Union and United States were nemesis, the world was on the verge of another conflict, yet this never took place fully, but there were some events. Without going any further, some foreign wars that shook the world saw United States and Soviet Union getting involved within. What is more, two situations could be deemed as great examples of this Cold War, both happened while John Fitzgerald Kennedy was in office; I am talking of Cuba missile crisis and Bay of Pigs Invasion. Kennedy allowed to carry out a plan made by CIA that intended to conquer Cuba ousting Fidel Castro from power.

The world was watching and a war was felt. In the end, it did not happen allowing Kennedy to obtain a huge increase in his popularity as a result of this. Similarly, the text we have worked is clearly focused on the notion that America must defeat the great menace Soviet Union and Communism were, yet the great impact of John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the creation of a new politician, an elegant, nice man who was not only focused on politics. This had never happened to that date, his perfect marriage, his wealthy and powerful family (although other members of his family also died and were also important politicians the status Kennedy family do still own has never been matched) made him to own an exclusive allure it will always be maintained. To say the truth, there is a dark side as he is allegedly to have slept with many famous women, amongst whom, we find the most iconic actress ever Marilyn Monroe who spent a weekend with him plus that famous image of the actress singing a Birthday song to him or the strange dead he suffered while being in a car crossing Dallas made me realize how important Kennedy means Western Civilization in general and United States politics in particular

Furthermore, he was the youngest president to be in charge of United States of America, the only first Catholic to do so or the only one with a Pulitzer Prize and even the only one to date to have such a great movie complied as the one Oliver Stone conceived some years ago. JFK where is explained everything about the only one lawyer who dared enough to look after the truth behind the demise of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, if fiction overcomes reality that is only another thing to admire of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his First Inaugural Address (and what followed subsequently).

.  Likewise, America started to live a huge prosperity, wealth, jobs were created and modern society was established. Some years later everything changed, innocence was lost with Vietnam War but 1960 were no longer an option nor the years of Kennedy in power because his political career and this work are finished.

JFK John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country”. John Fitzgerald Kennedy

This is one of the most famous quotes in Politics history, yet it was not invented by a Greek politician, it was not said by a Roman Emperor, it was uttered by the person who is the subject of this text; John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Nonetheless, perhaps he was not the author, I am saying this because even though Kennedy is the only President of United States of America´s history to have won a Pulitzer Prize, it was revealed decades later he was not the mere author of such piece of work but he was helped by somebody else. It does not matter at all; he was so special he could have obtained anything in life. Many assured JFK won American elections because of Television, now it is normal to own this device, but not at that time when it was first invented, television created a new battle, in the past voice was relevant but suddenly people could see you thus your look and manners were significant. Henceforth, all political debates were scrutinized in a different way. Everybody had a say plus a new reason to opine and decide who the most suitable candidate was. The inception of this new age did start with Kennedy. Appertaining to the list of presidents of United States of America is something remarkable, yet being the youngest politician to serve as President of The United States of America and having perished in a strange and an unsolved crime of which no one is cognizant as yet, allows him to own a special aura. Moreover, his male hubris and charm made him to be unique. He seemed a Hollywood actor more than a politician. When he came to power, the world was divided between two notions, two Economical systems, two political ideas, Capitalism vs Communism. United States of America had a stern enemy, Soviet Union to which John Fitzgerald Kennedy was to start a historical clash.

Likewise, some events that changed the world in such a deep extent that are in History books were seen at this period. We are talking of Bay of Pigs Invasion, Cuban Missile Crisis, Space Race, Building of Berlin Wall, African-American Civil Rights Movement or US involvement in the Vietnam War. Moreover, his death because of an unsolved assassination creates the perfect recipe for the creation of an eternal figure. His dead was so strange that is still a mystery, in a recent poll made by American network Fox, more than half of Americans still believe there was a secret plot to kill Kennedy as he was against some operations like the Vietnam War. An ordinary man named Lee Harvey Oswald was appointed as the killer but this man was killed soon thereafter by Jack Ruby who also died very soon before a trail could start. All of this brought so much controversy that no many can believe a President of United States could end so easily. In the beginning of 60s, America grew fast and rapid, everybody had a car and a house, happiness was everywhere, Americans felt proud of their values. Hollywood made light comedies loved by everybody, pop and rock music became popular, there was plenty of jobs and prosperity. Who could be the perfect epitome of a United States of America president for that time?. The answer is clear. John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Psychoanalysis. Sigmund Freud

Inasmuch as one of the biggest genius of all times Sigmund Freud embraced and defended Psychoanalysis as if it were the most important theory in the world one has to be cautious and scrutinize it carefully. However, many experts do not think Psychoanalysis is very scientific at all deeming it to be only Literature. As far as I am concerned, I do think Psychoanalysis is very interesting. What is more, I do take it into account when it comes to talk about the relationship between children and parents as this is a key factor to understand the personality of an individual. Moreover, I strongly believe we are all so determined because of society or culture that our true identity only appears when we are dreaming or taking some substances like alcohol. I have never met a person who had followed Psychoanalysis but I will do so if I had the opportunity because it could improve my live.
